For this you could start by disabling the parallel booting feature and
check if you get any gain:
2.1.4. Dependency booting
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html#dependency-boot
If you still experience a slow booting, review your logs to find out
the culprit.

Closed drivers are always a headache.
As you are upgrading from an older versión you will have to deal with
this manually and apply high doses of patience :-)
What I would do? First, decide what driver to use becasue squeeze
integrates KMS and nouveau support out-of-the-box.
But if you prefer to keep the closed nvidia driveers you will also
have to decide what set to install: the ones from Debian non-free
repo or those provided by nvidia. In either case, I would first
completely uninstall any nvidia driver, package or kernel module
that was installed before and then boot with the VESA, FB or
nouveau driver. After that, proceed with the installation of the
selected VGA driver packages.

Maybe this? :-?
